Summary:
In order to keep your body healthy so it can function at a high capacity, you need adequate sleep. According to a new study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of Americans are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recommends that adults between the ages of 18-60 should get at least seven hours of sleep. According to an article published on PubMed, researchers conducted a study that aimed to find out the consequences of sleep deprivation. For the studies, healthy adults were subjected to limited hours of sleep; randomized into 4, 6, and 8 hours. Caffeine usage was carefully restricted as well as their sleep and wake time. After subjecting the participants to 14 days of sleep restriction, researchers found that when given tests to complete, those with only 4 or 6 hours of sleep scored significantly lower. The tests focused on attention, cognitive thought, working memory, mood and reaction time.

With that said, getting adequate sleep can depend on many variables, with food being one of them. What you consume before going to bed can either aid your sleep or hinder it.
